SAK1001T

SAK1001T Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The SAK1001T is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 52-18-138, in Black or Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Sakuru collection.

Choosing your SAK1001T colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Gun. The Gun version is gunmetal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The SAK1001T is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 138mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the SAK1001T

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

The 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your SAK1001T is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Looking after them

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

FAQs

Is the SAK1001T suitable for varifocals?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the SAK1001T for driving?

Yes. Single vision lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 52-18-138: 52mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 138mm arms, a medium fit.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
